+               Changes the current working directory to {dir}.  The scope of
+               the change is determined as follows:
+               If {scope} is not present, the current working directory is
+               changed to the scope of the current directory:
+                   - If the window local directory (|:lcd|) is set, it
+                     changes the current working directory for that scope.
+                   - Otherwise, if the tab page local directory (|:tcd|) is
+                     set, it changes the current directory for that scope.
+                   - Otherwise, changes the global directory for that scope.
+
+               If {scope} is present, changes the current working directory
+               for the specified scope:
+                   "window"    Changes the window local directory.  |:lcd|
+                   "tabpage"   Changes the tab page local directory.  |:tcd|
+                   "global"    Changes the global directory.  |:cd|
+
                {dir} must be a String.
                If successful, returns the previous working directory.  Pass
                this to another chdir() to restore the directory.
